Thoughts on AI
Hello. Please keep in mind that the person writing this is just an incompetent human being.
In reality, this is not a temporary phenomenon, and I believe that we will have to deal with AI, or perhaps even be forced to deal with it.
However, will existing industries decline? Regarding this, considering that evolution is synonymous with degeneration, I believe that both decline and prosperity will occur.
I will list the reasons why it is necessary and why it is not a temporary trend.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
We are currently in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and it has been indirectly suggested at the Davos Conference that it will involve destruction and creation.
Up until now, industries have been funded by nations to amplify growth worldwide, creating livelihoods for people, and I believe the same will happen from now on.
If the government supports it, it must be introduced, even if by force. Even if you refuse, AI exists where you don't even notice it.
This seems to be a graph showing the proportion of people engaged in each industry, and it will probably be included soon.
AI's Growth Continues Due to Public Criticism
As everyone uses social media, angry sentiments and individual ideologies are often strongly reflected, and the inability to acknowledge others has led to an increase in abusive language and criticism. By using AI, the target of hostility will no longer be human, so its adoption may increase.
Since you, or others, are not perfect humans, yet you seek perfection, it would be better to somehow create and rely on AI that can produce perfection.
Shueisha's AI gravure models are being talked about a lot, but since there are no scandals, isn't there anything easier to handle?
Current Industries Thrive Thanks to Past Cutting-Edge Adoption
Regarding manga culture and the anime industry, many people adopted full digital at the forefront (Naoki Yamamoto, Inio Asano, Monkey Punch, etc.).
In fact, 3DCG has also been reflected in visuals, and if handled well, even better things should be created.
The recycling industry has also flourished thanks to the thriving secondary market on the internet.
Of course, in art, there are various other forms of expression such as oil painting, watercolor, stenciling, etc., and what suits each person is alive today, so this is not a denial of those who are currently painting. There is not just one way to express.
What Have You Learned?
Regarding copyright, concerning AI infringing on copyright in both image generation and language generation models, it's hard to say anything definitive, as humans have also learned from text throughout history in the same way.
In the first place, to escape from this, we would have to create a new language, similar to what people who were discriminated against in the past created, which is quite difficult.
Originally, I felt aversion towards fan fiction posted on Niconico Douga and Pixiv in the past, and unauthorized reposts now commonly used as icons and posts on social media, but my views have changed.
This is because I've come to believe that what is seen in those communities increases the number of people who know the culture, leading to a return to the original.
Even If You Try to Distance Yourself from AI...
Google, Meta, and others use your search phrases for machine learning, so if you try to distance yourself from it, you would have to distance yourself from machines and revert to classical necessities of life (food, clothing, shelter).
Forcibly feeling aversion will only lead to paranoia and suffering, so perhaps it's better not to think about it too much.
Finally
I love memes! ＼(^o^)／
Let's all have fun, watch, and create interesting things.
Actually, I like taking photos, so I take photos. I believe that what is good or bad is entirely up to the consumers.
In reality, humans seem to seek classical things, so I don't think classical things will ever become obsolete.
